A bit about our

Hidden LookTM

You bought your vehicle because you liked the way it looked. The last thing you want is a generic steel bar hanging below the bumper. Eckharts pioneered the HIDDEN LOOKTM Receiver to be ready when you need it and practically invisible when you don't.

Invisible Engineering

We don't just paint a hitch black and call it "hidden." We utilize your car's natural design to mask the hardware completely:

  • Behind the License Plate: For vehicles with flip-down license plates, we make the receiver to sit directly behind the plate. When you aren't towing, the hitch is HIDDEN LOOKTM.
  • Integrated Exhaust Routing: On high-performance cars, we route the receiver structure between the exhaust pipes and tuck it high into the rear valance, making it virtually undetectable.

Custom Contoured to Your Chassis:

Most "big box" hitches are straight bars that hang low to clear the muffler, looking like an afterthought.

We take a different approach. We custom-bend the steel to follow the specific curve of your vehicle's frame or unibody. This seamless integration doesn't just look better; it maximizes your "departure angle"—keeping the receiver high and safe from scraping on steep driveways or speed bumps.

Ideal Applications

  • Luxury & Sports Cars: Maintain the sleek profile of your Porsche, BMW, or Tesla.
  • Classic Cars: Add towing capability without drilling into chrome bumpers or altering the vintage aesthetic.
  • Daily Drivers: Keep your sedan or crossover looking clean while still being able to mount a bike rack or pull a utility trailer.

Don't settle for a "shin-buster." Bring your vehicle by the shop, and we’ll show you how we can add utility without sacrificing style.
